Just US – Its a Business Exploiting Others for Personal Gain
Project Innocence has been
operating as a counter-balance against a justice system the is complete
insane. In the federal prison, only about 4% of the people are even
there for violence. The Ohio Project Innocence has won a victory where
men have finally been released holding the record for the longest
wrongfully held – 39 years.
It was 1975, Ricky Jackson and two other young black men were charged
and convicted of the murder of a white businessman in Cleveland. The
sole evidence against Ricky was testimony provided by an alleged
eyewitness, who was 12 at the time. Ricky has met that child who is a
man today. He has bluntly stated that he feels no anger. He understands
the system and that the witness is typically rehearsed and coerced and
becomes a victim of the system themselves.
